BOOK - French Canadian Sources, a Guide for Genealogists
By: Patricia Keeney GEYH, Joyce Soltis Banachowski, Kinda Boyea, Patricia Sarasin Ustine, Marilyn Holt Bourbonais, Beverly Ploenske LaBelle, Francele Sherburne, Karen Vincent Humiston.

Hundred of thousands of people born and raised in the Canada and the USA are descendants of the Intrepid French men and women who came to Canada in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteen centuries. Many thousands of these descendants find that French Canadian genealogy is a fruitful and engrossing avocation.

This book is designed to assist researchers by provided detailed explanations about many primary and secondary sources available to them.

Because much of the most valuable information available is in French, many non-French speaking genealogists hesitate to go to them for information about their families. It is the purpose of this book to help that researcher use these resources.

French- Canadian Genealogy is not the same as other such research for three basic reasons
  • Women in French Society retain their maiden names. They are called by their married name socially, but in all official civil and church records they are known by their maiden name. The identity of their spouse may be mentioned, but not necessarily.
  • An extraordinarily large percentage of French-Canadian records have been preserved.
  • Since the mid-1800s, French Canadians have been carefully tracing their families back into France and also indexing a huge proportion of the primary records. In Quebec, these are called repertoires. Repertoires of marriage records exist, which give the names of the bride and groom as well as the names of the parents. The women's maiden names are also given. Using these repertoires, a research can often go back many generations very quickly.
French Canadian Genealogy is unique for its comprehensive primary and secondary sources. This book is the ultimate guide to those sources.

Table of Contents includes; Time lines, Naming patterns, Feudal and Seigneurial System in New France. Lists of Secondary Sources, including the Major French Canadian research resources and how to interpret them. It also explains Primary Sources, including church records and census records, there is a map, French Vocabulary, Sources for locating records, research addresses and dates in French.

This guide-book is far superior to anything that has been introduced for French Canadian Research to date.
